    Why convert MP4 to GIF?

    To convert MP4 files to GIF, drop them on the counter above. A GIF plays by itself as a silent loop in every chat, email and browser.

    Most files convert in seconds: no queue, no email address, and the GIF result saves straight to your computer or phone.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is converting MP4 to GIF free?

    Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.

    Does it work on a phone?

    Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.

    Is there a file size limit?

    There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
